- rediscovered my love of Hikaru no Go. Oh, the subtext. :D:D:D:D:D - wrote a few shounen-ai Akira/Hikaru (or Hikaru/Akira, whatever; it's the same pairing) drabbles for Hikago; they will appear at inkntendinitis shortly, I imagine - wrote my English 250: Survey of 20th Century Literature exam; did well, I think - knitted. A lot. - discovered I must wrap the liquor boxes I got for shipping people's Christmas gifts in brown paper because they're liquor boxes - got brown paper for free today from where I used to work, because I asked Lloyd (my former boss) where they had put it out this year, and he said to just go downstairs and ask Hamish for some. Then he called Hamish to make sure he'd be down there. XD <3 Lloyd; he's a dear. ^^ - watched Vampire Hunter D (the 1985 movie); it's awesome, a classic of the genre, like Vampire Princess Miyu or Blood: the Last Vampire. Must now read novels and watch Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. - made hamburger-less Hamburger Helper with TVP as an experiment; experiment was successful - didn't study enough for my Soc 100 exam tomorrow, but I'll be fine - discovered I really, really like BUMP OF CHICKEN. - actually had to wear my scarf and winter coat, instead of just a quilted vest over a sweater - handed in Creative Writing portfolio for the semester; let's hope it goes over well - found a torrent of an English fansub of Bright Girl's Success Story, a Korean drama I've really wanted to see for a while; said torrent is nearly eleven gigs, so I must burn/purge first - finalised my BRILLIANT PLAN for living arrangements next year; details will follow at some point - slept, though maybe not quite as much as I should have, it was enough - ate lots of Maple Mini Wheats and giant wheat Goldfish crackers. - didn't eat enough of what's probably considered "real food", but oh well. XD - was told by Meaghan at twenty to four the other morning that I was up past my bedtime; countered with the fact that I'm older than her, which she said didn't matter. XD

Borrow them from me if you MUST read them, but truth be told, THEY SUCK. Kikuchi draws on an oral storytelling style, and he's exaggerates SO FUCKING MUCH (seriously, it's like reading an anime in text... SO not the cool) it's just really shitty storytelling. The plot is good and complicated, although perhaps a little TOO much, but the themes are racist, sexist, supremicist, and just - UGH!
